Abstract

Academic words include words that are not commonly encountered in formal circumstances and specific to particular fields of study. Undergraduate students of the English Department are required to acquire academic words in applied linguistics for academic reading and writing research articles. This paper reports on generating the academic word list for the students of the English Department by using AntConc, a concordance software application. In this study, corpus linguistic research was adopted, in particular the corpus-based analysis category. Data were gathered from approximately one thousand credible Applied Linguistics journal articles published from 2008 to 2021. AntConc software played a significant role in processing these data to get the intended corpus, which was then classified and categorized based on the frequency of occurrences. The results include an academic word list and its word family. These clusters of academic words are intended for undergraduate students of the English Department in the first up to fourth academic semesters to prepare them to participate in international academic discourse, such as writing and publishing research articles. This list can also be used as a basis for further research related to academic vocabulary.

Abstract

This study explores translanguaging practices in the Department of English Education at Mulawarman University, focusing on how lecturers implement these strategies and how students perceive their impact on learning. The background of this research arises from the challenges faced by students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where limited exposure to English often hampers comprehension and reduces classroom participation. The objective of the study is twofold: to identify the forms of translanguaging employed by lecturers and to examine students’ perceptions, engagement, and responses toward these practices. This research applied a qualitative case study design, collecting data through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with selected students, followed by thematic analysis supported by triangulation of data sources and methods. The findings demonstrate that lecturers commonly applied code-switching, bilingual clarification, and double questioning techniques to simplify abstract concepts and encourage classroom interaction. Students reported that translanguaging significantly reduced language anxiety, boosted confidence, and facilitated more active participation. Moreover, it improved comprehension by allowing learners to connect complex academic content in English with their first language. These findings highlight translanguaging not merely as spontaneous language switching but as a deliberate pedagogical strategy that scaffolds learning, fosters inclusivity, and validates students’ multilingual identities. Nevertheless, challenges were also noted, such as the risk of overreliance on the first language, which may reduce immersion for advanced learners, and the necessity for structured implementation to maintain discourse coherence. In conclusion, translanguaging has proven to be an effective instructional approach in multilingual EFL classrooms. It supports deeper understanding, enhances student engagement, and nurtures identity affirmation. However, proportional and systematic application is essential to maximize its benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and students' interest in learning English at the junior high school level. PBL is a student-centered pedagogical approach that engages learners in solving real-world problems to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. The primary research question examines whether the application of PBL significantly influences students’ interest in English language learning. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 50 eighth-grade students from a public junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing perceptions of PBL and levels of interest in English learning. The results, analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test, revealed a significant positive relationship (r = 0.630, p = 0.000), indicating that increased implementation of PBL correlates with higher student interest. These findings underscore the potential of PBL to enhance student engagement and motivation. English language educators are encouraged to adopt PBL strategies to foster more meaningful and interactive learning environments.

The data gathered by using documentary technique, in which only the data that support research question are taken. Findings showed that there are four out five types of impoliteness strategies that used by commenters in Joe Biden’s Instagram comment section. Furthermore, there were some functions of impoliteness that the researcher found; coercive impoliteness, affective impoliteness, and entertaining impoliteness. The result showed that the commenter demonstrated the expression of wrath and dissapointment. The advantages of using online communication and ability to exercise their power eventhough they were in a lower social status also contributed to the emergence of impolite act. But, the lack of feedback from the target regarding the impolite comment on his Instagram post make this study less detailed. In short, it is recommended to investigate more comprehensively the impoliteness strategies in a case where the target showed clear response toward the impoliteness act

Abstract

This study aimed to find the translanguaging practice during the teaching and learning process in the online environment class and the factors behind the existence of lecturer‟s translanguaging in the teaching and learning process in the online class. The current study used case study research design under a qualitative approach. This study observed and interviewed a lecturer in English Department at Mulawarman University to collect the data. The data analysis method employed was qualitative content analysis. The current study revealed target language is still the dominant language that appeared in the virtual class. In addition, the lecturer‟s translanguaging appeared in content/language explanation, especially in explaining pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary or difficult terms; drawing attention and comprehension checking; instruction reinforcement. This study also found that translanguaging is used as material sources that created multimodal and multilingual learning. Translanguaging occurred in the virtual class because of four factors: familiarity/friendliness with the students, attitudes and emotions of the speaker, purpose of the message is more important than the language, habit or usual manner of behavior. The current study found that translanguaging has positive values where the lecturer used translanguaging as assistance to make sure the message gets across. Therefore, educators may want to consider allowing the class to translanguage during the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

This study used Qualitative Content Analysis research as its design. The purpose of this study are: (1) to find out the types of profanity that are uttered in Pulp Fiction; (2) to find out the purposes of the profanity that are uttered in Pulp Fiction. In analysing the data, the researcher used Creswell and Poth’s (2018) qualitative data analysis procedure. The researcher analysed the profanity in Quentin Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction by using Bergen (2016) and Pinker (2007) profanity theory. The result of this study shows that in Pulp Fiction there are four types of profanity, namely religious, sex, bodily function, and discriminative language. As for the purpose, there are four purpose of profanity in Pulp Fiction, namely dysphemistic, emphatic, idiomatic, cathartic, and abusive. Sex profanity are the most used type of profanity, while religious profanity are the least used type. Emphatic purpose is the most used profanity purpose, while idiomatic purpose are the least used purpose. The suggestion from the researcher were students and teachers should learn profanity as the means to understand and expand their knowledge in profanity language so that students who freely use the words would become more responsible when using profanity. For the next researchers, it would be useful if they investigate profanity based on medias that portray more realistic social interaction or even goes far as focusing on real life human interaction in society

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the flouting conversational maxims, types of generalized and particularized conversational implicature and its implied meanings. It belongs to a qualitative content analysis approach. The data source comes from the movie script of Freedom Writers in the form of conversation and utterances of the characters that are appropriate with the focused analysis. It uses the Grice’s theory of flouting maxims as well as implicature and Searle’s theory of illocutionary acts to support the data analysis. It reveals that the characters flouted the maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relevance, and maxim of manner that create the presence of implicature. They used generalized conversational implicature and particularized conversational implicature to calculate the implied meanings. It found that the implied meanings are intended to give information, to deny truthful information, to do action, to express feeling, and to show politeness and respect
